Here are the pictures of 4th months old David and Elizabeth. David was so much chubbier compared to Elizabeth. But they kind of look alike, right?
Elizabeth hasn't been sleeping well at night the past 2 nights. It has been tough on me. I'm sleepy all the time, getting crankier. The house was a mess and I can't even find energy to clean, getting me even more frustrated. Sigh* So many things I want to do at home! Procrastinate...
It's hot and sweaty lately though the summer has been quite mild compared to last year. We drove to Auburn earlier to have dinner with James' boss. We could see some trees are starting to change color! I can't believe autumn will be here soon. Time flies.
We have been going out more lately, meeting more people, getting more sun. It's great, but it also means that we get sick easier. James and David caught a cold last week and eventually passed it on to me. I've been getting sore throat and Elizabeth is getting runny nose. It's just not a great feeling when there's so much to do at home. Taking care of kids is enough to wear me out. I don't have much energy left for other things. Sometimes I wish I were more active and energetic like my cousin, Elisa. I still can't believe she could go biking in the summer in her third trimester! Super woman.
David is still very wild and rough. I'm always worried when he is playing with other kids, especially the younger ones. This guy still needs to learn more discipline. I just hope that all our yelling and reprimand would go into his head. I guess that's how it is. Boys will be boys. We went to the Manlius park for a bible study meeting yesterday. As usual, David has many friends to play with. His favorites are always Grace (8) and Jessica (12), Mr. Lee's daughters. But yesterday, he made another friend, Janie. They gave each other a hug (after David ate all of her snack). Janie is 18 months old, very adventurous. David almost pushed her down last week at church. -___- I really hope they'll get along from now on.
As of Elizabeth, she's getting bigger each day. She's popular at church because she's the youngest one. She's fun to play with. She would smile, laugh and make faces when we play with her. And she pays attention to everything that I do. So I started explaining to her when I do something, hopefully she'll pick up words earlier.
We moved! Yes, again... Good Bye, Ithaca! *sob sob* I really missed the Cayuga Lake and everything else in Ithaca. But then after I found out how convenient the location of our new place is, I'm glad we moved. We are a mile or two away from all the major stores, like Walmart, Target, Lowes, Home Depot, Bed Bath, Wegmans market, and most fast food places. It's just great. I am a city person after all.
The kids and I have been going out almost everyday. David is too hyper to be kept at home now. He asks to go out every morning. So, the past week, it has been crazy for me. Very tired from moving and organizing and taking care of the two kids, not to mention cooking and packing lunch for James! GOSH! I am spent! Hopefully the place will be more organized soon. James promised me since last week that he'll help out with the organizing but he still hasn't! I want to get rid of the heavy boxes and hide them in the storage room.
We are also back to the Syracuse church. David is very happy about it. He has many little friends and he is well taken care of there. He has been very excited and wild for the past two Sundays. He joins the toddler Sunday school, but I don't think he knows what's going on. He just plays and runs around on his own.
Elizabeth celebrated her 100th day at church this past Sunday. It was a busy day. We ordered a big cake for 75 people, not knowing that there were 2 other birthdays going on. It was also the pastor's 50th birthday and another boy's first birthday. We didn't get much attention because they didn't know it was Elizabeth's 100th day. We didn't really mind either, because birthdays are more important anyways. But guess what, our cake was a sell out. It was the biggest cake and it was gone! haha. We were worried that we might have a lot of left overs. So we were glad.
